Try the Best of Southern Barbecue at Jackson 20

March 1, 2016 12:02 pm

Southern hospitality and cuisine receive a high-end twist at Jackson 20, a popular tavern and restaurant in Old Town. Here, the focus is on authentic Southern barbecue and comfort food, with a seasonal menu that shines a spotlight on local ingredients. Start off with the wood-roasted acorn squash and the charcuterie board. The house specialty is the ribs, where the meat melts right off the bone. For dessert, try the triple chocolate mousse cake or the banana pudding, and wash it down with an espresso martini!

Behind the bar, Jackson 20’s mixologists are always crafting new and exciting drinks, but it’s the classic mint julep that many diners recommend. The restaurant also serves bourbon, craft brews, and globally sourced wines.
